Homemade Gluten-Free Teriyaki Sauce
Let’s start with the heart of this dish – the teriyaki sauce. A blend of tamari, Swerve brown sugar replacement, sesame oil, honey, mirin, fresh ginger, and minced garlic creates a symphony of flavors. Don’t forget the secret weapon – a slurry of cornstarch and water that thickens the sauce to perfection. Prepare this in advance to let the flavors mingle and intensify.
Perfectly Crispy Chicken Wings
Now, onto the wings. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F, and get ready to witness the magic unfold. Sprinkle the wings with baking powder for that irresistible crunch. A mix of garlic powder, salt, and black pepper ensures each bite is a burst of flavor. In just 25-30 minutes, your kitchen will be filled with the enticing aroma of perfectly air-fried wings.
The Finishing Touch: Bringing it All Together

Once the wings emerge golden brown and irresistibly crispy, it’s time to marry them with the teriyaki goodness. Toss the wings in a bowl with half of the sauce, coating them in a symphony of flavors.

minutesIngredients
- Gluten-Free Teriyaki Sauce Ingredients
½ c. tamari or coconut aminos
2 t. sesame oil
2 T. honey, preferably local
2 T. mirin
2 t. fresh ginger, minced
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 T. cornstarch
2 T. water
- Ingredients:
2 lbs. chicken wings
2 t. baking powder, divided
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. salt
½ t. ground black pepper
1 T. white sesame seeds
1 T. finely chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions
- Prepare the teriyaki sauce by combining the tamari, Swerve, sesame oil, honey, mirin, ginger, and garlic in a skillet set over medium heat.
- Create a slurry by combining the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir the slurry into the sauce and continue cooking until thickened, approximately 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool before transferring to an airtight container with a tight-fitting lid. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- To prepare the chicken wings, pre-heat the air fryer to 400°F and set the timer to 30 minutes.
- Arrange chicken wings in a single layer on a clean work surface. Pat dry with a paper towel and sprinkle evenly with one teaspoon baking powder.
- Transfer wings to a large bowl and sprinkle with the remaining baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine and set aside.
- When the air fryer is ready, add the seasoned chicken wings to the basket in a single layer without overcrowding. Close the lid and air fry for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, open the lid and turn the chicken wings with a plastic spatula or silicon tongs so they cook evenly. Close the lid and air fry for another 10-15 minutes or until the wings are crispy and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, reheat the teriyaki sauce in a skillet set over medium for several minutes, stirring occasionally, or until warm throughout. Reduce heat to low to keep warm until ready to use.
- Transfer the wings from the air fryer to a large glass bowl and pour half the teriyaki sauce on top and toss to combine. Arrange the wings on a serving platter and garnish with the sesame seeds and fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately with the remaining teriyaki sauce on the side. Enjoy!
